    Exact same problem on 2004 Volvo 780. Where are these sensors? Our truck stalls and won't take to a gear when this happens. Stop, wait, restart then we can drive for a bit. No real solution.

    Hello
    The following link is the zf dealer for Canada.
    They have dealers across the country. I have been told by them that a rebuild transmission Zf complete is $8000.00 exchanged, i believe it also includes the clutch. That Gs3 is 2200 for the bottom bit the shift air actuator or for the brain and shifter programmed to 2005 Volvo ISX 500hp for $3000.00 that is complete with air regulator and gaskets. This is in Canadian dollars. Hope this helps.

    I have spoken with Paul at the Gearcenter in Mississauga just last Friday and we had a question about the greasing procedure of the clutch actuator and he put me on to a tech ( a real mechanic not a parts changer) who spoke with my mechanic for 10 mins - free. Thats service.

    All internal parts for ZF are available, including TCU assembly.

    seems to me, you have problem with worn clutch servo

    Ok, under cab where there old trans wiring comes out? Or do I remove that harness also from under dash and get new harness for the 10 speed?, And also a tech from volvo here in Tucson came out and changed the parameters on yhe cummins side from auto to manual, and he said there was nothing on the volvo side (vehicle ecu) to change, is this right?
    And if I go to try and start it it says check vehicle ecu, but again the new trans harness is not connected, could that be why its not turning over?
    Sorry for too many questions

    He should change parameters not only in engine ECM, but in VECU and Instrumental cluster
